I am a graduate of Tufts University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English as well as a minor in History. Since graduation, I have worked as a 7th grade Reading Language Arts teacher in Dallas Texas at a newly formed public all boys school. This has provided me with great experience and insight into how students best learn and how to create culturally responsive lessons that students will engage with. I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, and Spanish. In my experience, working to prepare students for state standardized tests has had the additional benefit of helping students to discover what they enjoy reading about. This increase in intrinsic motivation to read has had an important impact on struggling students. I am dedicated towards ensuring that students are provided with an education that increases their quality of life.

Jessica's Latin American and Iberian Studies minor at the University of Richmond took her to Spain and Brazil, where she used Spanish outside the classroom in daily life and professional settings.

I am a graduate of James Madison University. I double majored in English Literature and Arabic. In college, I started tutoring students of all ages. I assisted them in various areas of study, including essay and Arabic grammar. After college, I worked at a refugee center with children of immigrants. I helped them to adjust to a new environment, while simultaneously adapting to the public school curriculum. I am also a certified ESL/TESOL teacher and have experience teaching groups of students as well as providing individual lessons.

Conjugation charts only get a student so far — real Spanish fluency comes from understanding when to use the subjunctive versus the indicative, or why "ser" and "estar" aren't interchangeable.

She also incorporates reading and conversation practice so grammar rules stick in context, not just on worksheets.

Stephanie's linguistics background — particularly in phonetics and syntax — gives her a structural understanding of Spanish that goes beyond vocabulary lists and verb conjugation charts. She teaches students to recognize patterns across tenses and moods, so concepts like the subjunctive stop feeling arbitrary and start making sense. Rated 5.0 by students.

Armando teaches Spanish across multiple levels, from foundational conjugation and vocabulary through advanced conversational fluency. His approach emphasizes actually using the language — constructing sentences, responding in real time, and internalizing verb forms through context rather than rote charts. Students rate him 5.0.

Having studied Spanish through advanced levels, Andrew covers everything from verb conjugation patterns and pronoun placement to reading comprehension and written composition.

Her analytical mindset from the sciences translates well to language learning, where pattern recognition in tense structures and sentence construction can accelerate progress quickly.

Cassandra teaches Spanish at the introductory and intermediate levels, covering verb conjugation, pronoun usage, and sentence construction. Her background in comparative literature and Latin gives her a structural understanding of how Romance languages work, which makes explaining concepts like the subjunctive or ser-versus-estar distinctions more intuitive for students.

Learning Spanish means internalizing patterns — verb conjugation systems, pronoun placement, the subjunctive triggers that trip up English speakers. David has taught every level from Spanish 1 through AP and knows exactly where students tend to stall out, whether it's ser vs. estar or navigating preterite and imperfect in the same paragraph.

Teaching Spanish through all four levels — from introductory grammar through advanced conversation — gives Charles a clear picture of where students typically get stuck, whether it's ser versus estar, subjunctive mood triggers, or building spoken fluency. He keeps lessons practical, connecting conjugation drills and vocabulary to real conversational scenarios so the language feels usable, not abstract.

Six months living in Spain turned Rebecca from a classroom Spanish learner into a fluent speaker, and that transition shapes how she teaches the language now. She breaks down verb conjugations, pronoun placement, and subjunctive triggers by connecting them to how Spanish is actually spoken in daily life — not just how it appears in a textbook. Rated 4.5 by students.

Tony earned his bachelor's degree in Spanish and continued using the language throughout his Latin American Studies master's program, so his command of the language spans academic writing, literary analysis, and everyday conversation. He tackles tricky grammar concepts like the subjunctive mood and ser-versus-estar distinctions by grounding them in real usage patterns rather than rote conjugation charts. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying at the Horace Mann School in New York City meant Ethan took Spanish alongside a rigorous academic curriculum, and his current economics and public policy coursework at UChicago keeps him reading and analyzing across disciplines — skills that transfer directly to parsing Spanish texts and constructing grammatically sound written responses. He's particularly sharp at breaking down the logic behind ser versus estar or preterite versus imperfect, treating tricky distinctions as puzzles with clear rules rather than exceptions to memorize.

Four months living in Spain plus an ongoing stay in Costa Rica mean Nicolette's Spanish grammar is something she's tested daily in real conversations, not just classroom exercises. She unpacks verb conjugations, subjunctive triggers, and pronoun placement with a level of fluency that comes from actually needing the language to navigate daily life.

Having tutored Spanish formally throughout high school and studied it through advanced levels, Christopher tackles everything from subjunctive mood conjugations to nuanced reading comprehension passages. He treats grammar as a logical system — similar to how he approaches engineering problems at Harvard — which makes verb tenses and pronoun placement click for students who struggle with rote memorization.

Isaiah teaches Spanish with an emphasis on building real comprehension, not just conjugation drills. Whether a student is wrestling with the subjunctive mood or struggling to keep preterite and imperfect straight, he connects grammar rules to how Spanish is actually spoken and written. He covers Spanish 1 through 3 and scored high enough on the SAT Subject Test in Spanish with Listening to tutor it.

Hannah has tutored Spanish at the high school level and studied it through advanced coursework, giving her a clear sense of where students typically get stuck — verb conjugation patterns, subjunctive mood triggers, and the differences between ser and estar that textbooks explain poorly. She teaches grammar rules in context so the logic behind them actually clicks.

Rather than drilling conjugation tables in isolation, Meghan teaches Spanish grammar in context — building sentences that students actually want to say. She minored in Spanish at Northwestern and then spent a semester at Madrid's top-ranked university taking upper-level courses entirely in Spanish alongside native speakers. That immersion experience means she understands the gap between textbook Spanish and how the language actually works.
